I have a NAS and I connect to it as a network drive, however when I leave the house with the MacBook Pro and come back I have to manually remember to reconnect to the network drive. Is there anyway to do this automatically?

Several solutions exist depending on your proceeding: do you shut down your Mac leaving your home, do you boot/log-in coming back home or is your Mac suspended/sleeping/power napping? Please add your system version!

@klanomath I don't do any shutdown or logout. I close the lid, go to wherever I'm going, open the MacBook and do whatever work there close the lid, return home, and open the MacBook again. I have the login items set for when I logout or shutdown. However I rarely turn it off as I usually have it running background tasks I don't want to interrupt.

I've been having the exact same problem and search for a solution. Eventually I found a few apps in the app store (I never normally look for software there!) that claim to be able to reconnect network drives after sleep:

Drive Mounty - I tried the pro version of this (£2.99) for a few weeks and it seemed to mostly work ok but suddenly started hammering the CPU and failing to mount the drive and also adding random suffixes to the mount point. The free version is restricted to 1 mount point and limited remounts. Was promising at first but sadly became unreliable.

Auto Mounter - Currently trying this (£9.99) with the Pro options pack too (£2.99). Looks good so far and has lots of features and the ability to create rules. Can mount drives in /Volumes using a separate helper utility that overcomes the App Store sandboxing. It's a shame there is no free trial version available.
